Sulfur plays a critical role for the development and maintenance of life on earth, which is
reflected by the wealth of primary metabolites, macromolecules, and cofactors bearing this …

Ergothioneine (ERG) is an unusual thio-histidine betaine amino acid that has potent
antioxidant activities. It is synthesised by a variety of microbes, especially fungi (including in …

Summary Low-molecular-weight (LMW) thiols are small-molecule antioxidants required for
the maintenance of intracellular redox homeostasis. However, many host-associated …

This research gives the results of a proximate analysis (moisture, ash, crude protein, fat, total
carbohydrates, and total energy); a bioactive compounds analysis (γ− aminobutyric acid …

BACKGROUND: Oxygen is both essential and toxic to all forms of aerobic life and the
chemical versatility and reactivity of thiols play a key role in both aspects. Cysteine thiol …

L-ergothioneine (ET) is a diet-derived amino acid that accumulates at high concentrations in
animals and humans. Numerous studies have highlighted its antioxidant abilities in vitro …

Filamentous fungi are critical in the transition to a more sustainable food system. While
genetic modification of these organisms has promise for enhancing the nutritional value …

Ergothioneine (ET) is a diet-derived, thiolated derivative of histidine with antioxidant
properties. Although ET is produced only by certain fungi and bacteria, it can be found at …

Significance: L-ergothioneine is synthesized in actinomycetes, cyanobacteria,
methylobacteria, and some fungi. In contrast to other low-molecular-weight redox buffers …

The sulfoxide synthase EgtB represents a unique family of nonheme iron enzymes that
catalyze the formation of a C–S bond between N-α-trimethyl histidine and γ-glutamyl …
